I hope after these last 2 years we can start getting "classic" headliners again. Something like Prince, Rolling Stones, Macca, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Elton John and not something like the Eagles, U2, or the Who

This is both a wish list item for me and a practical guess:

No Doubt

New single comes out next month and album to follow. No Doubt can easily draw a crowd of 15-20k, so I definitely think if they are at Roo they will be in some capacity a headliner. (If not on the What Stage, at least Which Stage unopposed.)

edit: and if and when that happens, I can't wait to hear them play "Different People" that to me is the perfect Roo theme song. "so many different people... so many different kinds... with different ways..."

how are the who not classic? What defines classic? The Who and U2 would be excellent headliners

They definitely need to bring Adele back - don't know if she would be headliner or pre-headliner though. I wandered into the tent the year she was playing not knowing a thing about her & was totally blown away. The next thing you knew she blew the F up!

I'm totally on board for the Adele 2013 campaign! (My vote is for a pre-headliner set though) Maybe Adele-->The Rolling Stones!

I meant I personally hope we don't get a classic headliner like the Eagles, U2 or the Who. I get the appeal of them all but they're just not my cup of tea

Im not talking smack on the jam headliner, just saying that when ever people say something like these are the bands that can be headliners they have to consider that 1/4 of those bands will take up 1/4 of the headliner spots.
